When I finally match with a guy who understands corporate workplace stress, I start venting about my impossible boss. He's everything my boss isn’ warm, understanding, and interested in more than just my quarterly reports.
He becomes my escape. The man who listens to my frustrations, who understands my secret desires, who guides me to surrender I've never imagined possible.
Then I discover the truth.
The guy I’ve been texting is Jaxon Reed. My arrogant, commanding, devastatingly attractive boss has been reading every confession, every fantasy, every vulnerable moment I shared.
His deception should make me run. The power imbalance should make this impossible.
But now that I know the truth, I can't stop thinking about his voice in the darkness, commanding me to let go. About the connection we built.
He offers complete transparency. No more lies. No more secrets.
The question is—can I trust the man who's already deceived me once?
A steamy standalone romance about mistaken identities, workplace power dynamics, and falling for your boss before you realize he's been listening all along.
ARC Review: This is exactly why we shouldn't overshare at work! This one slides straight into your DMs without asking for permission. The Wrong Boss is a quick, sizzling novella blending office tension, dark romance, and a hilarious case of mistaken identity that spirals way out of HR’s pay grade.
Elle thinks she’s anonymously spilling her deepest fantasies with a stranger. Safe space. No consequences. Except the man who knows her inside and out isn’t a stranger at all… surprise 🤗—he’s her billionaire CEO, Jaxon Reed. The reveal hits hard, like slamming an office door shut, because suddenly the power dynamic isn’t just theoretical; it's raw, personal, and utterly humiliating.
What makes this story so gripping is the emotional rollercoaster. Elle isn’t just embarrassed—she’s shaken, exposed, and furious. The betrayal stings, but her connection to him refuses to fade. She’s never been reckless, but the allure of dominance awakens something she’s always understood—and desired. Watching her wrestle with desire and self-respect is addictive.
Jaxon is at the top of his game—controlled, commanding, and fully aware of the authority he wields—and how much Elle needs someone to take charge. He’s eager to show her how dominance can quiet her mind, reduce her stress, and give her permission to let go. Elle? She’s no innocent. She understands submission on a deep, psychological level—something that’s been simmering inside her long before Jaxon ever appeared.
But here’s the twist—he’s the one who starts losing control. For a man who prides himself on control, that emotional slip becomes the greatest danger. The dual POV makes it even more captivating, allowing us to see him fall hard for Elle as a person, not just her submission—realizing that feelings might be the one thing he can’t manage. Watching both of them slowly surrender control is the thrill.
This story balances playful rom-com vibes with darker, intense power dynamics surprisingly well. There’s humor, heat, and genuine vulnerability as they try—and mostly fail—to keep business and desire apart. Workplace drama, emotional fallout, and the risk of everything exploding keep the tension sizzling until the very end.
Overall, this is a steamy, addictive office romance about exploration, dominance, and control—with a dip of a toe into explicit territory. A standalone novella that’s fast, spicy, and unapologetically messy. Spice level at 🌶️🌶️, but the psychological tension makes it feel even hotter.
If you love billionaire bosses, Dom/Sub dynamics, instant-love chaos, and romances where secrets come with a nameplate—this one is a must-read! Power Suits, Power Plays, and One Very Wrong Boss!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I am starting to see dom/sub relationships in a different light. I don't think I can be that trusting however you never know. The toy play at the office was definitely the highlight.
